Just Say NO! to ELMO!

Anyone else with me? AM I the only SANE person left on the planet? (That statement actually makes even me snicker...me...sane...hahaha)

Who in their right mind would pay more than retail ($100+ on ebay for a doll worth 39CDN, and even that is too much) for some friggin annoying toy that will end up in the bottom of the toy box after about a week AFTER driving the PARENTS around the bend. It'd be cute for like the first time , but I am pretty sure after like the third time singing and smacking itself silly, you'd be fit to burn the thing. Twice.

Wait a few weeks and there will be a gazillion on shelves in time for Christmas. They might even go on sale.

On the other side, the JERKS who buy a gazillion of them, only to charge obscene amounts to the desperate parents who will buy it. I have a suggestion for you: why don't you take a couple of your stash and donate it to a children's hospital or even an orphanage or safe house for the abused. Do something right with it. Money isn't everything.
